That is not all, they can stake claim for solidity and enviable squad depth ahead of their pending Caf Champions League adventure in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the Niger (Afcon qualifying game) at Kitende, Vipers CEO (Simon Peter Njuba) told me I was wanted.

Sometimes you may not start but you have to work hard. I believe those that have failed before me have not had the real mental fortitude,\u201d he added. Word has been rife that Vipers midfield anchor Bobosi Byaruhanga could move to professional ranks which has propelled the club to rush out for a like to like surrogate in Youngman. \u201cPlaying at the national team has helped me get this lifetime move to Vipers and guess what?, I\u2019m anticipating working with colleagues like Milton Karisa and Halid Lwaliwa which will give me a swift landing,\u201d Youngman stressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
